JSON::PP makes some attempt to work on Perl 5.6 (via
JSON::PP::Compat5006), but its test suite fails on 5.6 thus:
t/900_pod.t ................ 1/3
# Failed test 'blib/script/json_pp'
# at /home/zefram/usr/perl/perl_install/perl-5.6.1-i64-f63/lib/site_perl/5.6.1/Test/Pod.pm line 159.
# blib/script/json_pp (88): This document probably does not appear as it should, because its "=encoding utf8" line calls for an unsupported encoding. [Pod::Simple::TranscodeDumb v3.15's supported encodings are: ascii ascii-ctrl iso-8859-1 latin-1 latin1 null]
# blib/script/json_pp (88): Couldn't do =encoding utf8: This document probably does not appear as it should, because its "=encoding utf8" line calls for an unsupported encoding. [Pod::Simple::TranscodeDumb v3.15's supported encodings are: ascii ascii-ctrl iso-8859-1 latin-1 latin1 null]
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 3.
t/900_pod.t ................ Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)
Failed 1/3 subtests
All other tests pass, so if this POD issue can be circumvented or
overlooked on 5.6 then it will presumably be OK.
I think operation on 5.6 is important for this module, because it is
now in the toolchain as a prerequisite of Module::Build.
